Package: python-pyxb (1.2.6 dfsg-2)

Python XML Schema Bindings (Python2 version)

PyXB is a pure Python package that generates Python code for classes that correspond to data structures defined by XMLSchema. In concept it is similar to JAXB for Java and CodeSynthesis XSD for C .

The major goals of PyXB are:

 * Provide a generated Python interface that is “Pythonic”, meaning similar to
   one that would have been hand-written:
     Attributes and elements are Python properties, with name conflicts
     resolved in favor of elements
     Elements with maxOccurs larger than 1 are stored as Python lists
     Bindings for type extensions inherit from the binding for the base type
     Enumeration constraints are exposed as class (constant) variables
 * Support bi-directional conversion (document to Python and back)
 * Allow easy customization of the generated bindings to provide functionality
   along with content
 * Support all XMLSchema features that are in common use, including:
     complex content models (nested all/choice/sequence)
     cross-namespace dependencies
     include and import directives
     constraints on simple types
 * Validate the documents against their schema

This package contains the Python 2 version of the library.
